Karachi witnessed heavy rain last night and people couldn't handle it

When rain falls from the skies, there's zero chill in the city
Updated 30 Jun, 2017

Rain is a rare occurrence in Karachi... but when it rains, it pours.

Last night, the city saw heavy downpour with a deafening thunderstorm and enough rain to flood parts of Karachi - which inevitably did happen.

Of course, rain = mandatory sky photos = relevant hashtags = social media uploads. BUT here's what happened instead on Twitter due to the heavy rains:

Do Talwar became a swimming pool

We got no water in our houses but we got water on the streets!

They all have been exposed due to the rain... Errr

The rain was the hero and the villain

Basically it wanted to be Sahir Lodhi for a day.

When you reach a level of elevation so high only to realise you're still sad

SedLyf

If only we could charge our phones with this bijli too

Like we said.. zeeeero chillll

Then there were some who were so done with rain

Because work trumps rain. Duh... NOT

Let's be real, we also ask for pakoras and chai during rain

Actually Karachiites are so sick of rain that they're tweeting about being sick of rain

Never knew that was possible.

It's not that the people couldn't handle it, its more like the city couldn't handle it. Poor drainage system, clogged drains, unplanned roads.

PPP do not own Karachites and Karachi just PPP feudal to usurp money.

In 1976, rain waters flooded our ground floor and destroyed our furniture together with my books preserved from my university days. Fast forward to June 29, 2017, rain waters seeped in silently through the skylight windows and got into most of my expensive books brought in from abroad. Rains in Karachi! How I hate and despise the yearly havoc in this city. I should have always remained a 'man in a suitcase' in this god-forsaken city.
